Snowman without the snow

Found in: Ideas for children at Christmas

Don't let the lack of snow prevent you from making a 'snowman'.

If it doesn't snow you can still build a snowman with your kids. Get a couple of boxes - one large enough to be the body, and one smaller box to make the head. Stick them together, one on top of the other. Then cover them in cotton wool! Add some arms, and your mums scarf and a carrot for a nose.
